Funny got to work a little late as I’ve been waiting for a surgeon to call me for 24hrs. He’s a Yale trained plastic surgeon who does he think he is keeping me waiting.
Anyway when I took my laptop out of my bag bing with the AI thing was already opened so I asked it if watch collecting is an addiction.
Kinda like the new bing, I heard Microsoft may make a deal with Samsung to make Bing its installed search engine. I know google pays apple billions a year (or maybe a billion) for being its main search engine but even if mfst pays for right to be Samsung and possible all android devices that would be a major move

Put this one away for awhile because it’s about due for a service so I stopped running it. Starting to think I should baby it a bit less and enjoy it. It’s a perfect size and the white dial really pops on the wrist. You only live once as they say.

Finally, after 18 months of having bought it and 6 watchmakers in my country who could not fix it, here it is working 100% , full serviced and with a new glass.

That’s a nice hiking color dial. My alpanist has become my official hiking watch a I like using the inaccurate compass see if I can get lost and return but a bright colored dial may help search and rescue or help identifying my corpse if the elements are at me too long.
Well, I'm not doing extreme hiking, mind you but I see your point 😀

It is now my official hiking watch as being in titanium, makes it super light.

Damn he showed you up. Did you have to quit? It’s hard to bounce back when you are shown up in such a manner.

Really, did they give you an idea on what was so difficult to repair?

Dude…I was close to quitting…but didn’t. I showed him hard evidence that I’ve worn two watches at the office [see below]…and I think he was fairly impressed…
